Connor’s head was measured with a circumference of 15 inches, 3 incheslarger than a softball.

His chest puffed out at 18 inches.

“I’m feeling much better now that he’s not in the womb anymore,” saidLindsey, who gave birth to Connor by way of a C-section, the samemethod applied when she became a mother for the first time 2½ yearsago.

Aiden, the first child born to Lindsey and fiance Craig Bridge,weighed 12 pounds, 6 ounces.

“They’re both chunkers,” Craig Bridge said. “My first thought (whenConnor was born) was, ‘How am I going to feed them in a couple ofyears?’”

“They had said that when my other grandson was born, that he was arecord breaker,” proud grandpa Tim Moore, of Walkerton, recalled.

During a visit to her pediatrician less than a week before Connor wasborn, Lindsey said the doctor “suspected he was going to be as big asAiden. The doctor said, ‘If he happens to be 13 pounds, he’ll be thebiggest baby (on record) in northern Indiana.’”

But according to a hospital spokesman, there’s no way to confirmwhether Connor is a record-setting baby.

“It would take a long time digging through records over many, manyyears,” said Mike Stack, public relations manager for Saint JosephRegional Medical Center.

“But I certainly think it would be considered one of the biggestbabies ever born in Marshall County,” Stack added.

“And God bless the mother.”

According to several news accounts, Houston James Harwood — at 13pounds, 2 ounces — was “one of the biggest babies ever born inMichiana” at Lakeland Community Hospital in Niles in September 2010.

Last month, a 13-pound baby boy set a record for the largest baby bornby natural delivery in Germany.

Lindsey and Craig took Connor home on Monday.

“Yep, he’s really good,” Lindsey said of her newborn’s condition. “Alittle bit of jaundice, other than that he’s really healthy.”

Grandpa already has a career picked out for his newest grandson.

“I believe he came out with a contract for the Bears,” Tim Moore said.

But there might be a lengthy negotiation, since dad is a Colts fan.

“I think he likes the Colts,” Craig Bridge said, noting that Aiden,who now weighs 38 pounds, also has the makings — and the first signsof size — of a football player.

“I’m very happy,” Lindsey said, admitting she was “scared” when shefirst found out she was pregnant with Connor. “Just having two kids, Iwas wondering how are you going to be able to love another child whenyou have a lot of love for the first one.
